Transantiago: Before and after.

When Transantiago system begun, i was in the school. I live to one hour of Providencia (where was my school and now the university) and every morning i run to don't lost the bus. However, the old public transport was so bad like Transantiago in a beginning, so from this point of view is very similar. The busses now are worn with the years of use, but the yellow busses was disgusting because they contaminated all the streets. New busses doesn't.

Transantiago is better because you can do the next combination paying once: three busses plus subway once or four busses. You just must take all of them in two hours. However, when you use the new public transport sometimes you have to take two busses for arrive to somewhere. In my case, i have to take two busses everyday to come, and then two busses to come back at home. Sometimes it makes me feel more tired because i have to wait more time that before, just because i have to wait twice.
The drivers now are more polite, because they have a contract that they have to accept and respect. Now the owners of the busses aren't they like before.
The main chance i could make for make better the system is improve the frequence of the busses and the quantity of them in the streets on pick hours. The people at the end of the day is already tired of their jobs and study places, so come back at home is the last thing they want to lead with.

A country i'd like to visit

Hi! Welcome again to my blog. It was of the last term, and i still have my old tasks.
About this new task, i have no doubts about the country: England.
First of all, i choose this country because i think is the most cosmopolitan country of Europe, and maybe of all the world. I think that the capital of England, London, is a great city because have a big size and on it there's millions of different people, that come from Europe, America, and other continents for different reasons. Some of them travel to England becuase they are looking for a job, other people go to studying in colleges of important level, like Cambrigde or Oxford. Other people are turists that want to know this country because have known futball teams or because in England has born important music bands, some of them are almost miticals, like The Beatles.
In my case, i want to visit England because i think that this country is really rich in cultural topics and have the best schools of the world. I has always want to visit the Stonehenge, a prehistorical monument that consist on several stones stand by their own in the middle of a green landscape, in the south of the island. Maybe this is the first thing i knew about England, and since then i has want to visit this beautiful country. Besides, my favorites music bands are from Teingmouth, Denvon and from Basildon, Essex.
I want to study in Oxford or Cambrigde to continue learning law in a different culture, and can compare the society. About living there, i think i could live there for some years but not all my life because i love Chile and i want to meet all countries that i can.
If i go there is because i think that the main way to meet want we perciebed like interesting is going there, have a lot of experiences and enjoy all the chances we have actually to travel around the world.

The best in my area.


In spite of is difficult decided just one person, i think that Jaime Williams Benavente must have this place on my blog.

Jaime Williams is a lawyer of PUC (1966) and he teach Introduction to Law in our University, besides philosophy too.

I pick him because i think the have a great knowlegde about juridic system of Chile. I read sometime ago a book he wrote that talk about Law. On it he explane of a really easy way all i should know like "mechona". Besides, he can be able of explane the doctrines completelly oppossite and makes us (to the readers) choose a option without problem, because he is a objetive writter.

Another think i want to make note is that he teach really well, something that inspire you when you're in summer school and have to decide the university you gonna study next 5 years of your life.
The is dedicated to teach in others universities the same topics that he teach in here. Few teachers don't do that.

Sir Ken Robinson talk

The talk that made Sir Ken Robinson introduce us in a important topic that is the creativity and schools, how those themes are related, no in a good way.

Basically, he talk to us that schools kill creativity. For example, the society always gonna prefer a profesional compare with an artist. So, all activities that kids learn in school are related with university, like the future all of them should follow any day. Of course, Robinson said that university and traditional career aren't the only way of life: being painter, dancer, writter however don't represent a good choice for the person and for the society, actually.
The public education system produce people without hability for think behind the world shows. Students just are able of memorice and get just the necessary to live, they don't produce something else that static knowlegde.

Orange Sky.

Hi everyone, i'll show a photography i took.
You can see the sky. I took it some months ago, from the window of my bedroom. Was autumn still, was an afternoon, and i saw through my window. I usually look for interesting objects and landscapes and photographed. In fact, yesterday i saw the moon (it looks really beautiful) but i wasn't with the camera. I don't need a special reason, but lately i has feel more connect with photography, because this activity help me to be quiet in spite of i'm full of tasks.

I choose this picture from a old fotolog i created two years ago. I like it because it have awesome colors, looks very real, and it makes me feel i can do everything i want, even something seems difficult. The nature give us all we need, we have to enjoy it. The colors are usual to these time of a day. The sun was coming down and the clouds were moving slowly. To take a photography like that you just need see around you, because i'm amateur but i think is a good one.

My dear career...

I'm studying this career because i has always feel some kind of atraction about humanistic area. When i was in the school i was in this area (besides, exists scientific area and biologic area) and i liked read a lot. However, when i had to make a decision, i realized that i didn't know what study at university. I wanted study Literature, History, English or Law, but i wasn't clear. In fact, i almost chose History. Finally i chose Law because i always wanted know about legal bussiness, i mean, laws at themselves. Moreover, this career offer you a lot of topics to study with. Law includes history and, like you can read in here, english classes.
Another reason to choose Law is that i can get a job in interesting areas, from gubernment job to NGO. About that, i can say that my career can contribute as much as areas exist: Lawyer can help in a company, an organization, a court, parlament, etc. I think that in legal issues always will be a winner and will be a looser, so sometimes could be difficult help to all the society like a unit, at least you work in a international area and when you talk about society you mean your own country.
So, lawyer need special tools to development their job, and can win the bussiness they are defending. One of this tools, maybe the main, is "The gift of the word". Since Ciceron's epoque, and before, lawyers need a good vocabulary to convence with their words.
Other one is get a mayor grade. In this career you need be renovating your knowlegde everytime as everytime appears news laws in the Official Newspaper. So, you have to do some kind of Master in a special area of Laws, for example.
Coming back to my days in the university, my favorite subject actually is called "introduction to Law". In this subject we start with the main legal concepts that everybody should ,at last, hear. Public Law or Private Law, Person, Law theory.

JurisLex and La Tercera

One of the website i'll show you is JurisLex.
I found this website cause a friend talk to me about it. I didn't need a special website, but when i saw it i change of mind. You can find a lot of legal papers and books you ussually needs when you are studying laws. For example, i found "La TeorĂ­a Pura del Derecho", written by Hans Kelsen, an important guy that is development in our legal sistem, in Chile. In fact, i have it!
Besides, this websited provides you links that you could need anyday.
However, i have to say i don't visit this website usually, cause i don't need it, just like i said some phrases ago. But, when i'm looking for a book that i need download, Jurislex is my first choice.

My second website i want to show you is Latercera.com.
Since a couple of years, my dad is subscriber of this newspaper. Every weekends i guy bring at home the newspaper. So, i always read it. However, i haven't the newspaper others days of the week so i started reading from my computer. Since then, i read everyday this newspaper. About the conexion that we can find between this websited and my career, i can say that LaTercera have a lot of opinion from all kind of political ideas, and give a lot of space to the discussion. We can find a section called: Education. This one is really interesting because show investigation and opinion. We can find a Cultural Section too. In Editorial and next pages we find opinion of different people always. So, this website give me tools for understand what is going on in Chile and the world, with different points of view.

I has show you my favorites websites, i see you!
